E-D-I- T-O-R-I-A-L We don’t know how lu< ky we are! The very unfortunate situation jn Mississippi. with the enrolling of James Merideth at the University of Mississippi, the weeks of trouble and hard feelings whi< h led up to it and the crisis that broke out at the immediate time, is something that we, as “Hoosiers" and northerners, simply can't realize. When a situation gets to the point that lives are taken by angered persons and thousands of military personnel are called out to prevent trouble, things just aren't good. It certainly ooesn’t seem possible to us that this actually could be happening in. our country. p In our usual line of life, this could never happen. But to the people in the Southern States, this is entirely a different thing. In Mississippi the Negro is looked upon in a different light than they me in the Northern States. The competition between the Negro and the white person just isn't on the athletic field, they haven’t attended classes together in school, they don't visit the same movie houses, eat in the same restaurants etc. Despite the fact that they are supposed to have equal rights, the negro in (he Southern States doesn’t get. the same educational opportunity. They do not live in the same dconomic realm the white person does, and simply are not treated like an equal person. The constant association with the Negro people is not a reality in Missb'ippi as their three large schools do not even compete with schools where negros participate. This has been going on for years and to change things all of a sudden is not an easy thing for people to do. A comparison up here cannot be imagined. We will never know the true inner feelings of these people. In the current situation, a great difference i- noticed between this and the Little Rock incident of 1957. To put children at a young age together such as they did is one thing, but to force it upon older people of college age is another It takes very little to stir up a college age group of people, especially after Uns line of thought has been pounded into their heads for some 18-20 years. Agitation of college students is

easy, this being pointed out hy Herbert Philbrook, the famous "Communist for the ERI" as he talked to a group at the Lions State Convention in 1961 in Indianapolis, Philbrook stated that in the Uomumnist plan to t ike over the world withuot a shot being fired, it is definitey known that the foundation is trying tn be laid in th<i college age group. He spends much time traveling the country speaking at colleges ami universities and also npoits that the most opposition comes in such appearances. It is the hope and prayer of all that the situation in Mississippi can be settled, without additonal outbreaks of trouble and that it wdi all be a thing of the past as soon as possible. Not only is this type of situation a real problem to state and national government, but look what the world-wide picture must be as this has been heat 1 around the world, The United States of America is the leading country in the world, but trouble like tins makes us appear just a bit short of conduc t expected of us on a leader basis. Certainly hard feelings have extended from the campus of the Unw’ersity of Mississippi. to the borders of Oxford, Mississippi, t > the state borders, the national borders and around the world. Do not forget that a foreign correspondent from France, covering for a London newspaper, lost his life m reporting this situation for his readers. Only time can h< al tho wounds of this situation and scars certainly will bo the result. Community Club To Meet Friday The Walkerton Women’s Community Club will meet at the Town Club Friday.
